Minimal Scripted Configuration, Eric Radman
2021-06-02 @ 18:45 EDT (22:45 UTC) - Zoom +

Configuration management is term that is usually used to describe a declarative approach to systems, but a new generation of tools has emerged that take a different tact. By providing only the minimal scaffolding for writing scripts, it is possible to build configuration management that scale with the complexity of the environment. In this discussion we will consider three different architectures: Agent-Server, Gather-Fact, and Remote Execution.

Eric has administered BSD and Linux systems for 20 years, and has supported applications using PostgreSQL for nearly as long. He is usually most content when result of a test or deployment returns in two or three seconds after typing :w.

Q&A will be via IRC on libera.chat, channel #nycbug
